This entree is a great way to enjoy Mexican and southwest-style food while keeping the calories low and the flavor high. Pair it with my Warm Black Bean and Corn Salad (seen pictured) for an easy weeknight meal. Take it to work the next day for lunch by tossing it with some salad greens and sliced avocado.

Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken breast cutlets and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Turn cutlets over and continue to cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add lime juice. Turn chicken over to coat with lime juice.

Yield:6 seasoned chicken breast cutlets

Serving Size:1 seasoned chicken breast cutlet

I love fresh takes on Mexican and southwest-style foods. This salad is tasty hot or at room temperature and serves as a great side dish for chicken, fish, and shrimp. Try it with my Chipotle Lime Chicken (seen pictured). My husband also enjoyed scooping some of it into tortilla chips as an "appetizer" before dinner. Best of all, this dish takes minutes to prepare and you get the wonderful southwest flavors without all the heavy ingredients.
